Cilvia Alanna Ortiz

September 27, 1990 in Harlingen, Texas and recently resided in Austin, Texas. As a child she enjoyed painting,writing, singing, reading, sports and random outdoor adventures with her cousins. After graduating from Harlingen High School class of 2009, she moved to Austin, Texas to pursue her education in psychology and art at The University of Austin Texas.

Alanna always led an extraordinary life of wonder, adventure, dreams, and endless possibilities. Her unforgettable sense of humor could turn every situation into a memorable one. Alanna’s smile and laugh was as contagious as her love, if she wasn’t helping to change your world she was changing hers and adding you right in. Her true loves in life were her family and friends, her art, the outdoors and her compassion to help others however she could. Up until the end of her beautiful life, Alanna would never shy to express her thoughts, and feelings. She kept them true and through, whether it be in forms of surreal art, singing, making videos or simply in prayer. Though she will be missed, each one of us will cherish each embedded moment with Alanna, and perhaps be inspired to discover a life of spiritual growth through challenges, truth and happiness, Christmas karaoke and dance parties, kitkats

and gummy worms, blanket forts and a good books, canvas and paints, hugs and kisses, but more importantly through prayer and love.

“Be still when you can. Take the time you need to heal if you need it. Do not rush your lessons because it is something that comes naturally to someone else. The energy around you is infinite and you are just as capable to use it and transform it for the betterment of the world around you ,all on your own. Be what you need for yourself today, so that you can be what the world needs tomorrow.” - Alanna O.
